"La struttura è bella ma un po’ trascurata in alcune parti. La descrizione delle camere non corrisponde propriamente a quanto indicato online. Internet non prende bene in molte parti della struttura, incluse alcune camere e il ristorante. Lo staff è stato decisamente un valore aggiunto, molto disponibile a risolvere i problemi ed aiutare"

"I arrived there and the hotel owner told me that he never received my Expedia reservation and payment and asked me to pay cash. So I did. This means that I paid twice but I am not complaining as the price was so low. The hotel room was super basic with no running water and no sink. Very friendly and helpful owner."
